Abstract:
Extensive measurements of CO 2 fugacity in the North Pacific surface ocean and overlying atmosphere during the years 1985–1989 are synthesized and interpreted to yield a basin‐wide estimate of ΔfCO 2 . The observations, taken from February through early September, suggest that the subtropical and subarctic North Pacific is a small sink for atmospheric CO 2 (0.07 to 0.2 Gton C (half year) −1 for the region north of 15°N). Objective analysis techniques are used to estimate uncertainty fields resulting from constructing basin‐wide contours of oceanic fCO 2 on the basis of individual cruise transects. The uncertainties are significant and imply that future sampling programs need to recognize that estimating oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 from ship‐transect observations of oceanic fCO 2 alone will require very extensive sampling.
